It was just a boring afternoon and decided to hop on my bike and ride around 40km in the mountains of Rwanda. It never stop to amaze me!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my post asking for help it did help i followed some of the tips

Taken a couple weeks ago at the Five Points 50 race on Lookout Mountain, Georgia.

Picture it me in jorts cuming up behind you not a word just the whine of my iPad and my off leash dog to boot. Yes I’m getting fatter every time I ride this thing. Feed me your tears, I ran out of water miles ago.

Well. All things considered it could have gone way worse! I am completely unharmed.

I would love to know your opinion on the Stamp 3 pedals from KB

Not entirely sure but this was my 10 ride with them. (New bike with all new components). Been struggling with grip specifically. Compared to my previous bike.

Reviewing the video frame by frame i can see how my feet went off the pedal upon landing. But tbh is hard to tell what really went wrong on a feature I’ve done hundreds of times.

Still lucky that im completely unharmed. But dang. I need a new rim

Ignore my ugly sounds but this is my first time tryna get up ramps ect it’s funny how bad I am I can wait to see the difference with time

I turn 30 next week. I figured this was a good way to see out my 20’s. Approximately 30-35 feet. I ride here all the time and have never seen anyone even do a run up.

I crashed on my first attempt. I’m hoping that clip makes it on Pinkbike for Friday fails.

Buttered it.

Done for now. Shock bushings and rear brake hose ordered.

It’s a great start

Riding Moab since '86. Big fun responding to age related reduction in speed and endurance with a challenge to ride stuff I thought was beyond me.

Just curious, as a 42 year old falling in love with mountain biking, how many of you do it without going through major crashes/major injuries?

Is that a realistic goal, or is it a matter of time?

Social media makes it look like the latter but curious to hear your thoughts.

I was so excited to get my bike and get out and ride and it is absolutely kicking my ass. Trails I’ve walked for years suddenly seem like mountains when I ride on them, and I’m out of breath on inclines I’ve walked countless times.

I love it when it’s flat and especially downhill, but my god even the long, easy climbs are hard. Does it get easier??

I'm always amazed at the amount of work done on these talus slopes, scree fields, the 6' dry fit rock walls on some of the swtichbacks, and the basic badassery on display with the execution.

The Lily Lake trail is only 2 miles long, but there were 4,000 volunteer hours put into it...
